[QUOTE="sOnIc, post: 600462, member: 15861"] I'm refining what I need, but still after advice please ?! I need a wide AF-Assist beam, I need to turn the white light AF-assist bulb off, but I use matrix AF metering which has a wide field of focus points, so I need the red beam to cover a fairly wide area. Note that this is pretty much my reason for getting a speed-light, because the white light AF bulb blinds people when your close, its really annoying. The other priority for me is that I want the smallest speed-light I can get, most of them are huge! I love the small size of my D3200 and want a very low profile speed-light for it, also I'd rather the light came from lower down; not high above the line of sight. I think I'm gonna be happy using manual mode, so I can set the zoom to either 18mm for wide coverage, or have the option of zooming the flash in; without touching the lens; to get a smaller flash area. I shoot 18mm all the time, though its actually 9mm cus of the 0.5x wide-angle adaptor. So I'm looking at the Viltrox JY-610N II, super cheep, but none of the sellers even mention the AF-beam. Is this flash going to support rear-curtain sync? It has no backlight on the screen but a "unique feature in manual mode: the GN of the flash unit can be adjusted by adjusting the EV on the cameras" which is nice! No flash zoom either. Another thing, the recycle time on the above says 1-4secs, and I use -1ev flash compensation at the moment, so I assume the lower flash power means a faster recycle time? As long as its not over 3 secs I'm happy I think. So, any ideas on whats gonna be my perfect speedlight? [/QUOTE]
